I've just updated on Oneiric 14R N4010. The brightness keys are now working without any kernel boot options:

bcbc@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-8-generic #11+kamal~mjgbacklight5-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 12 23:53:11 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
bcbc@ubuntu:~$ ls /sys/class/backlight
dell_backlight intel_backlight
bcbc@ubuntu:~$

The only thing is that when the function keys are pressed, the popup display show a computer with a solid bar underneath that doesn't change, however, if I go to System settings, Screen, the slider works appropriately.

As far as I am concerned, this is working great. Thank you for your effort to get this fixed and also providing the ppa's.
